Virgia & Robert West

ABOUT VIRGIA

Virgia has been doing art all of her life and is a member of Oil Painters of America.

While living in Eureka, California she had her own teaching studio/store with many instructors working with her. This afforded her the opportunity to learn many different mediums.  Many well-known artists came to her studio, "The Students Gallery", as guest instructors. This was a great learning experience for her as well as the students. She still teaches art at her home studio in Mountain Home, Idaho. 

Virgia accepts commission work, painting from your original photographs.

ABOUT ROBERT

Robert (Bob) West has been painting in oils for most of his adult life. He is a member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), International Guild of Realism. (IGOR), and the National Oil & Acrylics Painters Society (NOAPS) and California Art Club (CAC).

By trade, Bob was a helicopter and airplane technician as well as a pilot - which explains his love of painting aviation art. Bob also has a love for the ocean and sailboats that is showcased in his seascape paintings.

Bob creates original work in oil on canvas.  He tries to capture his feelings about the scene he is painting and in doing so, tell a story that the viewer will respond to. 

Bob met his wife, and fellow artist Virgia, while pursuing his art in California.
They reside in Mountain Home, Idaho.

Bob accepts commission work, painting from your original photographs.
